1. An analysis system comprising:
a plurality of analysis apparatuses each managed in at least one first facility, each of the plurality of analysis apparatuses being configured to analyze a specimen of a subject; and
a server apparatus managed in a second facility, the server apparatus being configured to communicate with the plurality of analysis apparatuses, wherein
the server apparatus is further configured to store a first reference specimen ID for identifying a first reference specimen for which a first reference value of a test item has been set and a first range based on the first reference value, in association with each other,
each of the plurality of analysis apparatuses are further configured to:
analyze the first reference specimen provided without notification of the first reference value, and
transmit, to the server apparatus, an analytical value of the first reference specimen in association with the first reference specimen ID,
the server apparatus is further configured to receive the analytical value of the first reference specimen in association with the first reference specimen ID and to provide an abnormality signal to the analysis apparatus in a state in which the server apparatus determines the analytical value of the first reference specimen as not belonging to the first range corresponding to the first reference specimen ID,
the first reference specimen is contained in a first container with a first label showing the first reference specimen ID,
the specimen is contained in a specimen container with a specimen label showing a specimen ID,
each of the plurality of analysis apparatuses is further configured to receive the first reference specimen in a manner indistinguishable from the specimen, and
the manner is such that the first container and the specimen container are identical and the first label showing the first reference specimen ID and the specimen label showing specimen ID are identical.
